DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Saturday\, March 24th\, 6pm-10pm\n“Overture”
is a collection of original works by Los Angeles artist Zara Monet Feeney
. Her paintings start with an underlying composite pictogram\, alternating
between layers of transparent vs. opaque imagery and exploited vs. subdue
d color relationships. Aiming for the work to fluctuate with intensity in
a non-formulaic way\, she is fastidious with what is flat and what recedes
. Once there is a newly articulated compositional hierarchy\, she can exte
nd the reverie into strange unexpected conceptual spaces. By utilizing str
atagems of perception and displaying a dramatic dynamic between the subjec
t and the space it occupies\, she hopes to set up a curious and reflexive
viewing experience.\nInstead of disguising the artifice into the interwork
ing of the painted illusion (like a window into another world)\, her work
highlights the painting’s inherent flatness and exaggerates the mere idea
of trickery itself. Now the viewer becomes aware that they are looking at
something unreal and also becomes conscious of their own fact of seeing—a
redoubled vision.

DESCRIPTION:Save the date cause we’re having a party! \nFirst a little back
ground- we opened East/West Shop because we were fed up with the apparel i
ndustry and the blatant waste\, cheapening of quality and the selling of t
he idea that everything is replaceable. We deserve better and so does our
planet\, so it’s our goal to offer quality clothes that use the least amou
nt of the Earth’s raw resources as possible. We believe if you buy new if
should be quality\, made to last and it should be repairable. And when buy
ing vintage a piece shouldn’t have to be passed over because of a stain or
a hole. We personally repair many of the pieces in the shop before they h
it they racks.\nFor this next show at our store – we will feature mending
squares and patches to be used in the storytelling art of repairing your g
arments. And this will also serve as a launch to repair classes that we’ll
offer at the store. We’ve gathered a really amazing group of artists to d
oodle\, paint\, draw and/or embroider on these mending patches so come by
for some rad art and friendship and if you have a garment in need of some
resuscitation- a stained sweatshirt\, or a favorite pair of jeans with jus
t a few too many holes- anything that could use a mend bring it in and let
’s give it a new lease on life.
